Originally I had some cleanup tags on it, but the more I think about it the more an article written like this about a guy who's put three albums out on his own label doesn't meet WP:MUSIC. Daniel Case 06:18, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't appear to have a made a notable contribution to his chosen musical genres as yet. -- (aeropagitica) 06:42, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
delete. Three albums but I can't seem to verify anything.Links or verifcation of some kind and I will reverse my vote. --TaeKwonTimmy 08:36, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not Delete,,this man has worked and supported himself as a multimedia artist since 1992,,that is a lifetime, valid contribution to the arts,,he is not only a musician he is an accomplished glassblower as well,,if any one wants to see tangible copies of his work they can e-mail him, dyman69@hotmail.com, and they will get them,,he has distributed mostly and many gratis copies of his music until now but has perform many venues from San Fran to Victoria for years, He is getting ready to release "MotherLoad", which will be his first full scale commercial release,,,,..unsigned vote by 140.160.11.162 (talk · contribs)
Do not deleteThey thought Van Gogh was unnotable in his lifetime too,,,

Do not deleteNo where is there a standard listed for any proper dissemination of information of outstanding personalities on Wikipedia that I have seen,,,Having a website or presence or enormous financial success are not the only criteria for notability,,Joseph has tirelessy for many years made many thousands of people all over US and Canada made people feel good with his music,,from the homeless and most needy of our society to the most wealthy,,,He masters whatever genre of art he puts his mind too and he deserves his place in wikipedia,,from what I understand this is supposed to be a free storehouse of information about things and people that have made a difference in the world,,
Do Not Delete "Not notable" sound like a slick way to say discrimination!

Delete unless evidence of passing the criteria set out at WP:MUSIC is presented. JeremyA 01:03, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not DeleteThe following criteria is met by this artist,,,"Has composed a number of melodies, tunes or standards used in a notable genre, or tradition or school within a notable genre."

I am Joseph's publicist and at this point spokesperson in constant contact with his attorney,,Joseph has written many songs that have been performed by many non-mainstream artists,,also he has performed on radio stations and has been mentioned on television and in sub-culture publications,,,,He has been writing lyrics and arranged melody and compositions as long as some as his mathematician detractors or self proclaimed editors of the arts,,,He is also on the path to graduate with a juris doctor,,specializing in tech and entertainment law,,, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.150.92.205 (talk • contribs)

UPDATE: User:67.150.209.94, who had not posted before this afternoon, went and vandalized my user page, TaekwonTimmy's and EvilEye's right after posting the above "Do not deletes" . He has been blocked, for how long I don't know. And I don't care. This sort of behavior does not dispose me to be any more charitable ... in fact, now I change my vote to Speedy delete as a result of this misconduct. Daniel Case 03:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Whenever a large number of votes say "Do Not Delete" rather than "Keep", it is generally an indication that the voters are new, and/or unfamiliar with Wikipedia procedures. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 04:36, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:MUSIC and because WP is not a crystal ball (see end of article's sole paragraph). If the artist ever gets the fame and/or sales they "deserve", they can start a new article then. Turnstep 22:09, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Turnstep. Influenced by the large number of unsigned votes and sock/meatpuppets. Stifle 02:39, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
